Hey

I'm buying a pair o boosterstraps to hopefully get rid of shinbang, but I can't really figure out what type I should get. Standard or Expert?
I'm 140 lbs and and a agressive skier. I have done 2 seasons in the european alps and mostly skis all mountain but also some park. I have used the searchbar and realized that most people use the expert one, but I'm pretty light so I'm not really sure. Could someone help me out?

well, as you can see, the standard model is for people around your size (experts from 80 pounds to 160). But, if you think that you'll be gaining a ton of weight soon or growing, you should probably go expert. Although, you should keep in mind that the expert is a little more expensive, but not too much of a difference... hope that helps

well, i'll be ordering them in Sweden and here the price is actually the same for both. Yeah, looking at that curve that is true, but i'm still not sure. Do u think it's possible to buy the expert (3 band) and cut one of if they feel to "hard"?

ehhh, i would recommend going for the expert probably if you think that you are fit for it... maybe you could cut it if needed.

Yeah you can cut one of the three off and it becomes the standard. I've been thinking of doing that to mine, and I'm 6'4/80kg. So at your weight the standard will be fine.
